IXPUG Middle East 2018 is hosted by King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) on 22-25 April 2018.
Alan Gara, Intel Fellow, will give the keynote address. Alex Heinecke (Intel), Jeff Hammond (Intel), Adrian Tate (Cray), Vincent Etienne (Aramco), and Taisuke Boke (Tsukuba University) will give invited talks. Presentations describing innovative manycore computing work are solicited. Authors of the best scored abstracts will be selected for 30-minute presentations; opportunities will also be offered for lightning talks to lead off the poster session. A panel and tutorials round out the program.
A short Abstract and Draft Presentation should be submitted by the extended deadline 23 February 2018. The Draft Presentation does not need to be complete by this date. However, along with the Abstract, it should reflect the overall intent of the presentation and contain placeholders for the remaining content to be completed by the Final Presentation Deadline on April 19, 2018. For presentation format, please refer to past IXPUG events.
Topics of interest are (but not limited to): techniques in vectorization, memory, communications, thread and process management, multi-node application experiences, programming models, algorithms and methods, software environment and tools, benchmarking and profiling tools, visualization development, convergence of large-scale simulation and big data analytics, co-design for exascale, dynamic runtime and task-based algorithm design. Special themes include: (1) Applications in Energy and Environment, (2) Convergence of Large-scale Simulation and Big Data Analytics, (3) Co-design for Exascale: Architecture, Algorithms & Applications, and (4) From Bulk-synchronous to Dynamic Task-based Algorithm Design.
